Thirdly,

Using the IPB Admin Control Panel (ACP) requires up to 3 to 7 or more mouse clicks and mouse movements and way to much eye strain for me so thus the IPB_admin_map.

 

just unzip and up load it into your upload directory and access IPB_admin.htm from your server and there you have a framed ACP with maximum of 2 click navigation of the ACP in the left pane implemented as a accordion.

 

It requires that you Disable ACP Log in and so thus, in this rendition, is handy for your IPB modding development system. With Simple edits of the IPB_admin_map.htm you can edit the URL's with your current session id and you don't need to disable the ACP log in.

 

Here is how to disable ACP log in

If you don't want to disable ACP log in, You can find your current session ID by logging in and viewing the page source. you will find ipb.vars['base_url'] = "http://yada yada/upload/admin/index.php?adsess=some long big Ass number.

 

global search and replace the relative URL's in IPB_admin_map.htm and there you go. It would probably help if you set the log in timeout to a very large number. Ya that ain't good solution either for a live board. At the end of my project I may revisit this and may improve it or faeces can it, who knows!

 

Further, we note that some ACP settings are in rather obscure places or scattered about making it hard to remember where they are, so I took the liberty of collocating them under relevant categories. Also, I wanted a way to turn off/on subsystems easily so I added menus for those things "Subsystem enables" and "Group & Forum enables"

 

Best viewed with 1280X1024 screen resolution so no horizontal scrolling required.It uses prototype.js but I sourced that so the IPB .js are not assumed.

 

Made in America

Happy Modding
